Google has just made available the public beta of Android O during its I/O 2017 conference held between May 17 and 19, which means everyone with a compatible device can now check out the new features before the official launch. Although an exact release date hasn’t been announced yet, Google stated that O will be coming later this summer. In the meantime, let’s take a closer look at the other Android releases and see what they have been up to.
The Android Timeline illustrates all major versions of the mobile OS and their release dates, as well as an overview of their distribution among Android users, as reported by Google at the beginning of May. Variants with a market share lower than 0.1% were not included in the chart. As can be seen from the graphic, Lollipop and Marshmallow are the most popular platforms, each with a share of over 30%, while the relatively new Nougat reaches only 7.10%. Although Nougat’s percentage seems low, it is a considerable increase compared to the 4.10% it had in April 2017.
The illustration was built in PowerPoint with the help of Office Timeline, an add-in that allows users to quickly create beautiful timelines, Gantt charts and other graphics. The image is free to copy, reproduce and distribute for private or public use. To create similar visuals effortlessly, we recommend using Office Timeline Plus.
An easily editable Android Timeline PowerPoint slide is available here.
